Chapter 868 - 701: Crisis, Solution to Break the Deadlock (Part 2)
Although the power of Reverse Qiankun is strong, it has a time limit; otherwise, if it kept reversing, this Qiankun Forbidden Land wouldn’t be so tragic.
On the other hand, the Celestial Demon General Envoy was handling things with ease.
He looked at Qin An’s thoughtful expression and showed a slight smile: "You’re really impressive, being able to fight me until now. In those many worlds that have been destroyed, few could achieve that."
"But it’s a pity, your weakness is obvious. The power you obtained temporarily is ultimately temporary and not something you can control. Once the power of the Reincarnation Treasure disappears, you’ll revert to your original form, becoming a cultivator of the Manifest Saint Realm."
"At that time, killing you would be as easy as killing a chicken, and you wouldn’t have any power to resist."
He was speaking the truth and did not hide his admiration for Qin An.
He even thought that if Qin An suddenly changed his mind and joined the ranks of the heavenly demons, he might really agree to Qin An.
After all, he truly admired Qin An, while the people under his command were all useless degenerates.
If Qin An could become one of his people, it would save him a lot of trouble when destroying other worlds.
But he was very clear that all this was impossible. After all, he had previously attempted to recruit Qin An, but was refused by him.
Qin An’s eyes grew increasingly serious.
Both parties were experts and could see each other’s state.
He knew that the Celestial Demon General Envoy was waiting; as for waiting for what, naturally, it was for the power of his Reverse Qiankun to dissipate so he could be killed.
How could he turn the tables?
Qin An thought about it, thought for a long time, yet couldn’t come up with a clue.
At this moment, the Celestial Demon General Envoy seemed unwilling to give Qin An any room to think, once again raising his long sword to attack Qin An.
He knew Qin An had the capability to overturn desperate situations, so it was crucial to kill him early to prevent any further disasters.
Killing Qin An was the most important thing.
Qin An, watching the incoming long sword, didn’t continue to ponder and let the Golden Finger manipulate his body to clash with the Celestial Demon General Envoy’s long sword.
In the face of extreme power, all moves seemed utterly ridiculous.
Thus, the attacks from both sides were the most primitive forms of attack.
Swordsmanship, fist skills, blade skills were all useless at this moment.
A booming sound echoed again.
But this time, Qin An began to change, from being evenly matched at the start gradually turning weaker, even retreating continuously as if bearing immense pressure.
On the other hand, the Celestial Demon General Envoy not only wasn’t retreating but was attacking more frequently, with a strong sense of oppression, intending to ruin both Qin An’s body and spirit entirely.
This time, under the Celestial Demon General Envoy’s fiercer attack, Qin An retreated even more.
The Celestial Demon General Envoy shook his head, attacking while saying, "It’s useless. You might as well give yourself a dignified death. Lay down your weapons now, give up all resistance, and I will leave you a whole corpse, maybe even find a geomantic treasure land to bury you properly."
"Surrender? Give up?" Qin An sneered, "Since I rose from Ding County until now, I’ve never known what it means to give up. Let me say something too—if you drop your weapon now and kneel obediently before me, I’ll let you die with dignity."
The Celestial Demon General Envoy’s gaze turned vicious: "Fine, fine, fine, you want to die so badly, then I’ll grant your wish."
He spoke no more, then raised the long sword high, and under his guidance, terrifying heavenly power continuously gathered upon it.
He loathed this battle, especially hated Qin An’s resilience, and at the same time feared Qin An’s ability to overturn unfavorable situations.
In that case, he might as well kill him in one go.
At this moment, the Secret Technique he was using to gather heavenly power was called Peerless Sword, a secret technique he had created, able to continuously gather and compress countless heavenly powers onto the long sword.
Once the power is gathered and compressed, using his power to communicate it would allow the compressed power to suddenly erupt entirely.
Extreme compression combined with instantaneous eruption was enough to destroy everything.
Qin An also felt the terror of the opponent and took a deep breath, quickly pondering ways to resolve it.
If hit by this, he might not die, but the power of the Golden Finger would be even weaker.
After all, the power of Reverse Qiankun was continuously weakening, even if not dead, he’d have to shed a layer of skin.
So, how to break the impasse?
Qin An turned his head, took in everything before his eyes, and thoughts kept emerging from his mind.
These Defenders were not possible, the Replica Jade was not possible, and as for Reincarnation, it’s even more impossible.
In this level of battle, simply relying on them won’t have any effect.
Now, apart from them, there’s only himself and the manifested Golden Finger left.
Just now, when communicating with the manifested Golden Finger, it made it clear.
It controlled Qin An’s body fighting against the Celestial Demon General Envoy, and beyond that, there was no other way.
What other methods are left now?
Qin An fell into contemplation.
While he was lost in thought, the power gathered by the Celestial Demon General Envoy grew larger and larger.
The heavenly power was even gathering around him, forming an invisible barrier.
Under the increasingly heavy pressure, Qin An suddenly remembered something.
"I seem to have something still unused."
Qin An took out the Reincarnation Treasure from his bosom, gazing at the two-colored jade plate.
If there’s anything apart from what he just mentioned that could be used in this battle, it could only be this Reincarnation Treasure.
After all, the only power that could rival the heavenly demon’s power now was the power of Reverse Qiankun.
"Perhaps I can continuously extract from it, let me try."
Qin An thought in his heart, then activated the Void Essence to guide the Reincarnation Treasure.
When he engaged the Reincarnation Treasure, this time he discovered the subtlety within it.
The Qiankun power contained within was unexpectedly more powerful than before.
And just at the moment Qin An engaged the Reincarnation Treasure, this Reincarnation Treasure suddenly showed terrifying cracks.
Then, a crisp cracking sound like an egg breaking was heard.
The cracks spread and shattered in an instant, and the shattered Reincarnation Treasure’s Qiankun power was hundreds of times more terrifying than before.
When the Reincarnation Treasure shattered, Qin An immediately had an epiphany, knowing how to break the impasse.
He must again utilize the power of Reverse Qiankun, reversing all the power within the Reincarnation Treasure.
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate, quickly absorbing the Reincarnation Treasure’s power while initiating Reverse Qiankun again.
After this activation, the power of Reverse Qiankun was magnified countless times over, and Qin An’s momentum rose visibly.
Originally just an ordinary Heavenly Human Realm, with the blessing of Reverse Qiankun’s power, he reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Human Realm, at the cost of the Reincarnation Treasure vanishing completely.
The terrifying aura flowed continuously within, and both the traitors and the Defenders could sense the change in Qin An.
They all looked at Qin An with astonished and fearful eyes as if gazing at a supremely ancient and mighty deity.
On the other side, the Celestial Demon General Envoy also felt the increase in Qin An’s power and sensed the ominous aura that even threatened him.
"Well, well, well, worthy of you, but so what? Today, it’s either you or me!"
The Celestial Demon General Envoy shouted loudly.
At this moment, he had gathered all his power, enough to obliterate heaven and earth.
He had no hesitation, holding the longsword level, and thrust fiercely towards Qin An.
Everything around seemed to turn black and white, only the Celestial Demon General Envoy’s longsword remained colorful.
At this moment, Qin An suddenly raised his head, gazed at the descending longsword, slowly raised his fists, and punched hard towards the longsword.
